The Young and the Restless: Is Kyle Playing Both Sides? Fans Theories Explored

On The Young and the Restless, fans can see what Summer Newman is up to and how she manipulates Kyle Abbott, but does he know this? And is he playing a game too?

Is Kyle Playing Both Sides On The Young and the Restless

It's up for discussion. What is Summer Newman (Alison Lanier) up to? There is a theory that she doesn’t want to be with Kyle (Michael Mealor) and re-ignite what they once shared, not even for their son Harrison (Redding Munsel). Summer is just trying to keep Kyle away from Claire (Hayley Erin). Like all soaps, The Young and the Restless love a good triangle between a man and two women. It creates drama and suspense; everyone loves a good throw-down, right?

So, the question being discussed on the Soap Central Message Boards is whether Kyle knows about the manipulation. If so, is he okay with it, as two women vying for his attention feels good?

Can Kyle not see that Summer is manipulating him?

“If she never heard Diane telling Jack about Kyle's date then she wouldn't know they were out. How stupid can he be to not see what Summer is doing. She doesn't want him, she just want him away from Claire.”

“Kyle may be enjoying both women’s attention. He isn’t really a nice guy to women. Look at his track record. Don’t trust him as far as I can throw him. Victor may be right about him.” -Regular contributor littleliz

“Summer is a beautiful, spoiled woman. She can never be satisfied with what she has and her interest in a ‘man increases if he is with someone else. She was determined to have Chance when he was dating Sharon. She wants Kyle back because he is serious about Claire. I find it really nauseating that Summer is using Harrison as an excuse to wreck Kyle’s plans with Claire. Chance really treats her well and cares. She will throw that away to chase Kyle.he sure is acting stupid about Summer’s games. Even Jack sees Summer wants Kyle back.” -Sweetpd7 replied to LOL@SHARON

Where do you stand on this point? Should Chance (Connor Floyd) even bother with Summer, seeing as she’s so caught up in Kyle and his relationship with Claire? Direct your thoughts to the Soap Central message boards or jot them down in the comments below.
